Earth Defense Force 2025 is being released in North America and Europe in February 2014, D3 Publisher have confirmed. Additionally, D3 have confirmed that DLC released in Japan will be made available in the west as well.

I played Earth Defense Force 2025 and jumped right into the two new classes. I like how the Fencer and Air Raider are completely different from the Ranger, the standard Earth Defense Force 2017 unit, and the Wing Diver.

D3 Publisher and Sandlot are giving Earth Defense Force 2025 a significant upgrade from its budget roots by adding full online play. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 has an online cooperative mode that supports up to four players.
